Points

Hello, All!

Soon, very soon, you will come to a point in the story where you will get a LARGE amount of points. However, I will be putting some requirements on how you spend about 2/3 of those points (you'll have to spend them within certain 'categories'). You'll understand the reasoning behind this when you get to that point in the story.

For now, you may each add 5 character points to your character sheets to be spent however you wish. These are the XP for the adventure at the Silver Mines.

Yea! All hail the GM! Points to spend. Thanks!

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Of course, you may want to wait until you get the next set as well, if you think you might want to buy something expensive . . .

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OK, I need some help. I have each of the characters with 17 Character Points earned since the game started. I'm 99% sure that includes the 5 points for the Mines adventure, but I do have a sliver of doubt. Does anybody else have notes on this?

 

[arkansasdave]

I'm not sure. 17 points? 22 points? They both sound great.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

I think, considering the bookoos of points y'all are about to get, 17 is the appropriate number after the 5 points for the mines adventure. (22 does sound good, doesn't it? )

no help

sorry, Mike, I am no help here with the pts. My record keeping has sucked! Something to work on in the future I guess.

 

[Scotley]

I do not believe you gave out any experience points for the mines prior to the July 12th post above. At least I neither recorded nor spent any. I think the last time points were given was after the 'haunted house' adventure. I haven't spent those either.

Copper Pieces are Farthings, Silver Pieces are Pennies, and Gold Pieces are Nobles.

Béar is paid 1 Farthing/Day, which equates to 4 Pennies/Month or 3 Nobles and 2 Pennies/Year (There are four 10 day weeks in a month, and eight months in a year).

All basic expenses are paid for soldiers (food, lodging, uniforms (reasonable allowances for the irregulars whose uniforms are not standard issue), medical expenses, etc.) as long as they're acquired 'on base' or from 'official suppliers.' Also, soldiers aren't taxed - their taxes are considered paid in service.

You'll have to ask someone to get the specifics of Bairdéir pay, but you can expect some sort of salary for your service - you won't get rich, but you won't have to worry about basic necessities either, so most of your money should go towards things you want rather than need.

As a side note, citizens who contribute to the military levies in any way (men, supplies, monies, etc.) are given tax breaks according to the value of their contribution as well.

money, and stuff

Mike, can I have some reference as to how much something costs (on average). Does a meal cost a farthing? a horse a penny? a house a noble?
